The story of My Hero Academia stars Izuku Midoriya as the shonen hero, and many facets of Izuku's personal background, his bright personality, his ambitions and far more are explored in great detail. Much of this can be accurately described with his astrological sign, Cancer the crab. Something similar can be said about his childhood friend, Katsuki Bakugo.
Katsuki Bakugo is a major supporting character in My Hero Academia, and by now he, Izuku and Shoto Todoroki have formed an unofficial squad. These three boys have all been explored in great detail, and it's easy to determine whether their personalities are reflected well in their astrological signs. Katsuki Bakugo, for example, is a Taurus.
Katsuki Bakugo's Personality As A Taurus In My Hero Academia
Katsuki Bakugo's birthday is April 20th, meaning is just barely a Taurus -- an earth sign represented by a bull. Curiously, he was born just one day too late to be an Aries, the first astrological sign, and in many regards, Bakugo is more of an Aries than a Taurus. Aries is a fire sign, defined by passion and energy, and Aries is known for its ambition, aggression, impatience, pride and eagerness, making it rather similar to Leo, a fellow fire sign. Bakugo might be considered a hybrid Aries/Taurus based on his date of birth and his actual personality. However, if astrological lore is being strictly observed, he must be ultimately categorized as a Taurus.
Still, the Taurus sign isn't completely inaccurate to Katsuki Bakugo's character. He may feel more like an Aries, but he definitely has some Taurus traits as well, beginning with sheer stubbornness and diligence. Bakugo idolizes All Might, just as Izuku does, and Bakugo is recklessly determined to succeed All Might as the new #1 hero. However, while Bakugo has Aries-style aggression on his side, he also has the diligence of a Taurus, and he is perfectly willing to spend three years studying at the famed U.A. school to learn what he must.
Bakugo understands that there is a formal process to all this, and he can temper his impatience and aggression long enough to put in the legwork necessary to learn and grow. Even though Bakugo was born with serious talent and a good Quirk, he knows that he must patiently train and learn as a student, and nothing can get in his way. As a true Taurus bull, Bakugo has resolved to stubbornly and surely work his way toward his goal, and any obstacle will be plowed over in no time.
In some ways though, Bakugo contradicts his Taurus sign, since he is rarely seen seeking earthly pleasure and isn't known for being a patient mediator or family-oriented person. In fact, he is openly antagonistic with his mother and seems to have few hobbies. Unlike other Tauruses, Bakugo isn't known for relaxing and enjoying a bubble bath or a fine meal. He's too fixated on his goals for that.
Katsuki Bakugo's Taurus Moments In My Hero Academia
Katsuki Bakugo has had many Aries and Taurus moments alike in the story of My Hero Academia, with his many Taurus moments serving to balance out his fierce Aries traits. making him somewhat more likable over time. As a young boy, Bakugo was definitely more Taurus than Aries, being a fun-loving kid who knew what he wanted and how to get it, and his relationship with Izuku was much healthier. Now, Bakugo's Taurus side is the exception, and a welcome one.
Tauruses are known for enjoying simple and mundane pleasures, from favorite books to meals and baths, and sure enough, Bakugo has some homely traits to him, such as his unexpectedly good cooking skills. He amazed his classmate Ochaco Uraraka with his superb knife skills and culinary expertise during the forest training arc, for example, and he was diligent and careful about housekeeping chores in the U.A. dorms during his and Izuku's time there. Bakugo also gladly joined Kyoka Jiro's musical band as the drummer, proving that as a true Taurus, he knows how to relax and have fun, savoring the ordinary pleasures of life. He didn't even do this for fame or accolades -- a rarity for him. Instead, it was Kyoka Jiro who stole the show.
Katsuki Bakugo has learned the value of patience in the story of My Hero Academia, and his reckless drive has become somewhat tempered. He accepted multiple internships and diligently studied under the watchful eyes of pro heroes, including the flaming Endeavor, and Bakugo is equally diligent with schoolwork. Remarkably, he ranks in class 1-A's top five, and only a patient, study-oriented Taurus could hit the books and get grades like that. He also generously and patiently helped tutor Eijiro Kirishima.
